o Could anyone tell me what the current version of BLink is, and where
I can get it (FTP or PD)? I've got 6.7 but saw 6.9 mentioned somewhere.
o I am also looking for a program that works like Furnish but for a garden
instead of a room. (For the innocent: Furnish lets you do just that with
a room, i.e. you can select predefined objects like tables closets etc.
and place them anywhere in the room (in 2D), as to see how it would be if you
moved your Amiga to the center of the room :-)
I have seen such a program for the C=64 (the good old days..) years ago and
it was real neat. You could place predefined 3D objects like little trees and
all kinds of flowers in your garden, which where then rendered in 3D according
to the season (e.g. in the winter everything went white) and the place of the
sun (N,W,S,East) (Shadows and stuff). (The *real* origins of ray-tracing :-)
I know, I just as well could use Furnish, but it has a few disadvantages:
-No 3D (this is a requirement *%&!* :-)
-A bit gruesome user interface (only ten objects, manipulations consist only
of rotating, moving and placing)
(Don't understand me wrong, I encourage the efforts of the programmer)
Nor do I want to use a 64 emulator because I don't have one, and heard that
those are really unusable. Besides I don't have the soft/hardware anymore nor a
way to port it to the Amiga.
One final note: I do not wish to use Sculpt-Animate 4D or any similar package
because that really is hard work.. :-(
Final note 2: Aquarium on Fish 301 does not get me anywhere.
Thanks,
